And then in August, "We are now shifting to a partner-only model with Zoom technology embedded in partner offerings, which will provide better local support to users in Mainland China." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/zoom-ends-sales-to-customers-in-china/ar-BB17wfGb
Interesting bit: The U.S. company was founded by Eric Yuan, a Chinese immigrant who is now a U.S. citizen, but its product development team is "largely" based in China, according to a regulatory filing.
Eric Yuan's come-up looks like a textbook Clown Op. His wikipedia is short, sweet and reeks of a bullshit story. Inspired by Bill Gates. Zoom went public in 2019. Too convenient. And now China is probably busy mining the entire world's data from zoom meetings, school, medical, you name it.
Yes! Zoom is now painted on the Ice during hockey games. I don't trust things that want to use a camera. China just wants to come in our home. What a perfect way to come inside through our children on Zoom classrooms. I am telling my sons school no more virtual bc we no longer use Google. How is the school going to force me to use a program we do NOT support? This also reminds me of when Pokemn Go was so popular, just another spy tech getting access to peoples homes.
